GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 321428
wrong fonts permissions prevent startup per SSH X-Forwarding
Last modified: 2005-11-14 15:09:06 UTC
Distribution/Version: SuSE 10.0 I use SuSE 10.0. When I wanted to start gimp (but also inkscape) per 'ssh -X USER@HOST /opt/gnome/bin/gimp', gimp didn't start. The problem was that there were not world readable truetype fonts installed on the SSH server. Changing the permission to 744 solved the problem. Other programs, not part of gnome, i.e. scribus, xfe an konqueror started without problems. Would it be possible to change the behavior of gimp (and inkscape....) so it starts up also without the right fonts permissions? Thanks.
